Marco Roggero

Marco Roggero serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture and Design (DAD) at the Polytechnic University of Turin. His academic appointment falls under the Scientific Disciplinary Sector CEAR-04/A - Geomatics within Area 0008 - Civil Engineering and Architecture. Roggero maintains an active teaching schedule across multiple programs, particularly focusing on architectural restoration and sustainable design.

His research interests span multiple domains of geomatics, with particular emphasis on cultural heritage surveying, geodesy, cartography, photogrammetry, and GNSS positioning. Roggero's work integrates traditional surveying techniques with modern digital technologies to address challenges in historical architecture documentation and conservation. His research lines include cartography (focusing on map projections, coordinate transformations, and historical cadastre), GNSS applications for deformation monitoring at various scales, and advanced laser scanning techniques for processing airborne and terrestrial LIDAR data.

Analyzing his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on applying geospatial technologies to cultural heritage documentation. His work demonstrates increasing sophistication in multi-sensor data fusion, with particular attention to 3D modeling of historic structures at risk. The progression of his research shows movement from technical sensor evaluation toward more comprehensive documentation systems for complex heritage sites.

Roggero actively participates in several professional organizations:

• Association of University Students of Topography and Cartography, Italy (2007-present)
• Italian Society of Photogrammetry and Topography, Italy (2001-present)

His research projects demonstrate strong industry connections, with numerous commercial contracts spanning from 2008 to the present. Current projects include a Memorandum of Understanding with the Vercelli Local Health Authority (2024-2027) where he serves as Scientific Director. Previous projects include laser scanning of historic structures, creation of educational architectural models, and processing for the ITALPOS network. Roggero's work aligns with ERC sectors in civil engineering, computational modeling in the cultural sphere, and earth observations, while supporting UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 for Quality Education.
